3 states, 11 days, 1 damn fine vacay. From the Golden Gate to the Hollywood sign, your eyes will be a popping the whole trip long. We’ll feast on legit Mexican food, marvel at Joshua Trees and party in Vegas.

Today you’ll join the crew to travel the Pacific Coast Highway before winding around to the super laid back locale of San Diego.
San Diego
First up, we’ll stop at one of the white sand beaches on the SoCal coast, then do San Diego by night hitting up the Gas Lamp District. Recline into relaxation mode and take in the laid back nature of San Diego.

San Diego
Now you’ve had a taste of living the San Diego dream, it’s time to crank up the heat as we enter the desert. We say farewell to our California love and delve a little deeper inland to see what Arizona has to offer.
Phoenix
This impressive metropolis is situated right smack bang in the middle of the desert and is a sight you won’t forget anytime soon. Uninterrupted sunshine is expected for approximately 300 days a year, making this place a super steamy urban mirage perfect for shopping and sporting events. We’ll enjoy an Arizonan BBQ dinner at Rustler’s Rooste.

A hot air balloon ride over the “Valley of the Sun” – sounds like a bucket list kind of thing (because it is) and you have the chance to tick it off the list right here. There’s a champagne breakfast provided in the deal too so try to keep breathing so you don’t miss out.
Grand Canyon
The thrill of the desert continues and the next stop will make any nature lover weak at the knees. This location is one of the world’s most recognizable natural wonders and the pride of Arizona. We’ll settle in for the night before the great Grand Canyon reveals itself tomorrow. Take a step outside and take a peep at the endless starry skies, tomorrow will be a day to remember.

You deserve a full day out here to truly appreciate the wilderness taking in its dramatic scenery. This day will be like no other; beginning with a hike through the UNESCO World Heritage listed site, there’s also the option of a bike ride, then the day will end with a spine-tingling sunset. Incredibly, there’s also the option to view this wonder from the best and most thrill-seeking seat in the house – a helicopter.

With the majestic Grand Canyon left behind for now, we stop off at several spots along the famous Route 66, but most notably, Seligman, a town steeped in history for some rustic old school Americana vibes.
Las Vegas
Get ready for a full-blown, non-stop assault on the senses. This is Las Vegas – sometimes known as Sin City – a place of dreams & epic debauchery. This huge man-made entertainment precinct in the middle of the desert is all about total excess. You’ll be blinded by the bright lights and gob smacked at the thought of all that money running through more than 75 massive casinos. On arrival, enjoy a tour of the famous ‘Strip’, including a stop for pics at the legendary Vegas sign will show you just what is on offer after dark in this absolutely outrageous city. Fremont Street is on tonight’s agenda, where the main attraction is a super impressive light and laser show, before no doubt heading out and straight into what Vegas is all about.

Las Vegas
You have today all to yourself but you’ll need to run to a tight schedule to fit in all of Vegas’ weird and wonderful charms. Travel the world in a day, taking in the famous Bellagio fountain, a Venetian gondola and even an Egyptian pyramid, all whilst staying firmly within the city’s realm. Feeling romantic? Stop by and see one of the many Elvis impersonators for a shotgun wedding ceremony, and maybe even get hitched yourself…(joking). Tonight you’ll witness the 24-hour party scene first hand when you head out for a night with the crew.
